Who and which grades
Published coverageK-12: K-2 enrichment, Grades 3-8 scheduled pullout, and Grades 9-12 advanced courses and meetings
How students are considered
Published processParents, teachers, principals, counselors, and community members may refer at any time. After parent permission, the district collects multiple evidence sources. A trained committee of at least five analyzes the data with no single criterion or cutoff and meets for placement in October and April. Families may first meet with the coordinator, then file a written appeal for a final five-member committee review.
What service can look like
Published modelK-2 students receive 30 minutes of weekly whole-group enrichment. Grades 3-6 receive 150 minutes of weekly pullout. Grades 7-8 receive three 50-minute pullout sessions each week plus secondary course classes. Grades 9-12 use secondary courses, AP, concurrent credit, and weekly X-period student meetings.
